The Xbox Adaptive Controller is just one example of Microsoft's commitment to accessibility and Inclusive Design and Microsoft's mission statement to "empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more".

By 2017 it was clear that there was a need for the company to make a physical device with accessibility in mind. Microsoft is calling it the Xbox Adaptive Controller and it will help people with disabilities play games on Xbox.

The device has been developed as a collaborative effort alongside various gaming charities, including SpecialEffect, an organisation that catres to helping those with disabilities enjoy video games. "Button, thumbstick, and trigger inputs are controlled with assistive devices (sold separately) connected through 3.5mm jacks and USB ports".

The Adaptive Controller isn't available for sale just yet, but the official Microsoft store page is already up, and you can keep track of it here. They can be reprogrammed to act as any of the standard controller's button inputs via the Xbox Accessories app. The goal of these ports is that the devices that mimic those button functions can be plugged in and used as a traditional controller.
